It is a quartet for unspecified instruments, all of which may be found in a living room of a typical house, hence the title (Pritchett, 1993, 20).Living Room Music is dedicated to Cage's then-wife Xenia. The work consists of four movements: \"To Begin\", \"Story\", \"Melody\", and \"End\". Cage instructs the performers to use any household objects or architectural elements as instruments, and gives examples: magazines, cardboard, \"largish books\", floor, wooden frame of window, etc. The first and the last movements are percussion music for said instruments. In the second movement the performers transform into a speech quartet: the music consists entirely of pieces of Gertrude Stein's short poem \"The World Is Round\" (Pritchett, 1998) spoken or sung. The third movement is optional. It includes a melody played by one of the performers on \"any suitable instrument.\""@en }
